200mg T E2W
labs done at day 10
Your FT is very good after 10 days.
FT if relatively high VS TT, because SHBG is/was low
Need current SHBG
Concerned re body weight and diabetes with SHBG connection.
Should test A1C to screen for diabetes
Do not test LH/FSH as these will be zero. Waste of money.
Your HPTA is shutdown as expected and you need 250iu hCG SC EOD to preserve testes.
Are you OK with small testes and high risk of loss of fertility?
You should know all of this from the stickies!
fT3=3.2 seems ideal, but only in the context of body temps that you have not posted. fT4=0.92 is horribly below mid-range.
Do not understand why you associate Adderall and salt!
Your labs are very meaningless as your hormone levels are changing so much over two weeks. Your lab results are more determined by lab timing than anything else. The idea that your doctor is evaluating anything based on this is insane. Your E2 levels earlier on would be a lot higher as more FT for FT–>E2.
Your unsteady hormone levels are undermining your mood and other quality of life factors.
Please carefully read my prior posts for issues that you have not responded to.
Post body temps!

Evaluate your overall thyroid function by checking oral body temperatures as per the thyroid basics sticky. Thyroid hormone fT3 is what gets the job done and it regulates mitochondrial activity, the source of ATP which is the universal currency of cellular energy. This is part of the body’s temperature control loop. This can get messed up if you are iodine deficient. In many countries, you need to be using iodized salt. Other countries add iodine to dairy or bread.
